The detection of testboard control board and controlled function
Introduce the detection and the controlled function of testboard control board below item by item.
1. detect " sending and receiving " control line not short circuit or open circuit are arranged
Under the normal condition, 2 " sending and receiving " control lines and these 3 lines of DC48V anode (reference edge GND), D.C. resistance each other all is about 650 Ω, adopting the method for measuring these 3 resistances automatically to judge has not short circuit or open circuit each other.
For measuring this 3 resistances, adopt built-in constant-current source excitation, noncontacting switch switches, and the method for 4 half A/D converted measurement measured resistance both end voltage is transferred to PC with the A/D transformation result and judges.Adopt A/D converted measurement resistance, normally whether can not only accurately judge " sending and receiving " control line, eliminate erroneous judgement substantially, can also monitor the discrete distribution situation of these 3 resistances.Adopt contactless switching, both can avoid (relay) have the contact switch intrinsic contact endurance restriction, improve reliability, can also reduce volume.
2. detect the DC48V power line not short circuit is arranged
The DC48V power line is to be used for Xiang Tafang transmission power, has big electric current (about DC1.3A) to flow through under the normal condition.Load the DC48V power supply under the situation that has the power line short circuit as if putting at tower to hold, excessive fault current will be produced, thereby testing apparatus must accomplish that should under normal circumstances can transmit tower puts required operating current, can effectively limit maximum current under must nonserviceabling again; The fault of both having avoided causing tower to put enlarges, and protection tester self and power supply are not damaged again.
For this reason, on method of testing, adopt the mode of operation in two steps.
The first step, detecting the DC48V power line earlier has not short circuit, and method is to adopt the constant-current source of about 0.3A to load (hereinafter to be referred as " loading little electric current "), if short trouble is arranged, constant-current source can effectively be resisted the impact of short trouble; If no short trouble, tower discharge source end will have the voltage above 8V, be enough to detect judgement, and also can not damage tower and put.
Second step, only detect the DC48V power line and do not have under the situation of short circuit in the first step, just can load the required power of operate as normal (hereinafter to be referred as " loading big electric current ").Specific practice is that DC48V voltage is loaded into tower discharge source end after limiting maximum current, if tower is put operate as normal, its maximum current limit value is set to greater than the power supply actual current, thereby tower to put what obtain be the constant pressure source supply power mode of DC48V, and effectively suppressed to load tower discharge source moment impulse current to the charging of tower discharge source end capacitor; If there is the over current fault of non-short circuit type in tower discharge source input; the lowest high-current value ways to restrain can effectively be protected tested tower to put with testboard self not impacted by super-high-current; and in time remove " loading big electric current " and the prompting of the buzzer sound, further improve the reliability of protection." maximum current limit value " disposed 6 retainings that vary in size altogether, for the tested product of distinguishing different electrical power electric current (for example test power amplifier list chamber and tower and put complete machine) provide more efficiently protection.
The 2 above steps are detected, and all are controlled by PC, and testing result is read by PC." load little electric current " and " loading big electric current " adopts high-power MOS tube as executive component, avoided adopting the inherent defect of contact relay element, effectively improve reliability and avoid the age limit of contact action frequency.
3. detect " sending and receiving " control line have do not connect anti-
If connect instead during " sending and receiving " 2 control line final assemblies, will make " sending and receiving " operation produce adverse consequences.Detection method is and the PC compounding practice, alternately sends " reception " and " emission " instruction by PC, " sending and receiving " result of putting by general instrument monitoring tower frequently, with " sending and receiving " instruction contrast of sending, thus judge " sending and receiving " control line have do not connect anti-.
4. serial port
This testboard has 2 parts (control board and MDM plate) by RS-232 serial ports and PC communication, because this serial ports standard belongs to the multiplexing class of non-bus, way is to cooperate with the PC with 2 serial ports terminal arrangement usually, and 2 parts are monopolized PC serial ports terminal respectively.Yet, in the mainstream configuration of present PC, all have only a serial ports terminal arrangement, therefore be necessary to communicate by letter with PC again after first RS-232 serial ports with control board and these 2 parts of MDM plate is combined into a serial ports.Because of the MDM plate is to utilize existing off-the-shelf parts, bigger change is done in inconvenience, so can only set about carrying out serial port in control board.She Ji serial port solution for this reason, Serial Port Line with the MDM plate is connected in the control board earlier, join with PC again after in control board, being combined into a serial ports on the hardware, the corresponding transmission of design information code form on the software, solve this problem well, and successfully overcome Communication Jamming problem mutual behind the hardware multiplexing.
